Given so little information, it is a long shoot. But I would look at the problem user firewall.
Turn it off first and if there is a change investigate the settings.
Next idea would be to see if the issue is user specific or persistent even for the Administrative log in.

This is not a communication issue as far as reaching the server. It appears as though it's more on the permissions of forlders in general.
Also, need information on taking ownership of folders/subfolders and setting a permission at a root folder and having it propogate down.
What's inheritance as well as well as how it could assist in this issue.
